Colombian lawmakers reject $2.24B tax reform, complicate President Petro's fiscal plans.

Colombian lawmakers rejected a $2.24 billion tax reform proposal vital for financing next year's budget, complicating President Gustavo Petro's fiscal plans. The government had already cut spending due to lower-than-expected tax revenues. The rejection follows Congress' disapproval of the 2025 budget, citing insufficient funds. This decision could lead to further spending cuts or exceed deficit limits.
